The prototype...

The prototype... by Gayla.
Now that the recipients have received it... this year's craft kit gift that I designed and put together. For all my peeps who are annoyed by those who read over their shoulders on public transportation.

Update: I have uploaded the pattern as a pdf if you'd like to make your own.

The hearts are a nice touch. I'd buy one of those kits -- it's worth learning how to cross-stitch even if that's the only thing I ever make!

ellipse: That's great!

francesg29: I am partial to ms. jackson's "Go Fuck Your Self". I have ordered it and plan to hang it on the front door in lieu of a wreath. 'Cause I'm full of the welcome-ed-ness... and love for all of humankind.

Thanks ya'll! How did this page get over 700 views in less than a day? Madness.

Bob: I'm fresh out but will try and get a few more of the doilies once the holidays have settled. I can't face going out into the world of cash for goods transactions at this point. I was kind of nervous about giving them to people so only gave to a select few and now I'm disovering I should have just made up a bunch for everyone on my list cause I've been getting the, "Shit, why didn't I get one?"

This is great! A matching dust jacket would be good too, for when people try to talk to you.

Yours is great Tworabbits. I love the edging. Did you stitch that or did it come readymade?

Gayla, do you still have this pattern? I made this one a while ago, but wanted to make another. I followed your link and it no longer works. Perhaps you could e-mail it to me at wave.of.atla@gmail.com? Thanks! :D

It was removed when we changed the site. It's on a disk somewhere in my vast pile of backup. I don't think it will be made public again.
